What's wrong
Pacific Trailer Products, Inc (Pacific Trailer) is recalling certain RAM A Frame 2 5/16" couplers, part numbers CA-5400-O and CA-5400-B. The coupler was improperly welded, which may cause a trailer to separate from the tow vehicle.
Why it matters
Trailer separation from a tow vehicle can increase the risk of a crash.
The fix
Pacific Trailer will provide inspection instructions and replace the couplers, as necessary. Owner notification letters were mailed on February 4, 2022. Owners may contact Pacific Trailer customer service at 1-360-859-3828.
